So a month from now in August, during the PGA Championship at Baltusrol, I will be a "standard bearer"...one of the people who holds the scoreboard for a group and walks behind them.

Supposedly, the group that I am assigned to will be randomly selected, which means I could get anyone, and I have a pretty good chance of getting a superstar player to walk with.

My meeting/training is tomorrow at Baltusrol, so I was wondering if there's someone else on these forums volunterring that I might see tomorrow.

Either way, it should be the experience of a lifetime. Whomever I get to hold the sign for, they will be one of the best players in the world. I'm really looking forward to it.

Has anyone else ever had this job? For reference, this will be me:

Yes i had this job at the 2000 PGA Championship. It was one of the most exciting weeks of my life. By the way, Sunday i was the standard bearer for Tiger Woods and Bob May, which may go down as one of the best Major Championship duels of all time. Also, the 6 ft putt that Tiger made to force the playoff, I have that ball. He handed it too me on the way to the scorers tent. You will have an awesome time no matter who you get.

What a great day for you and for all of us. That is something you will remember for the rest of your life.

I got my tee times for the tournament...

there are 156 players and players in positions 70+ ties make it to the weekend

Thurday: Group 31 at 1:00pm (I could get anyone)
Saturday: Group 38 at 2:35pm (I'm guessing 2nd or 3rd to last group)
Sunday: Group 10 at 9:35am (not in contention, but I have the afternoon off to watch the leaders on Sunday)

look for me if you're going to be there...I'll be the one in the volunteer uniform
